When and Why Is an FFL
Transfer Necessary?

A
Federal Firearms License (FFL) is a license that allows a person or business to
sell firearms in the United States. You can choose to buy a gun through a
private seller who doesn't have this license. However, you'll typically need to
finish these transactions by transferring ownership through a licensed FFL
dealer like Keystone Shooting Center.

An
FFL dealer must adhere to stringent regulations, such as making sure customers
meet specific requirements before they can acquire their gun. Thus, an FFL
dealer requires customers to undergo a background check as part of the gun
ownership transfer process. These regulations ensure that the customer is who
they say they are and that they are legally allowed to own a gun.

The
FFL transfer process is required by law when transferring a handgun between
people who aren't directly related. You can privately transfer any gun to a
child, spouse, grandparent, grandchild or parent without the assistance of an
FFL dealer, but you'll need to conduct a professional transfer between a person
of any other relation to you.

Private
parties can transfer long guns or guns manufactured before 1898 in Pennsylvania
without conducting a professional FFL transfer. However, we still recommend
transferring through an FFL dealer, so you have written proof of your sale or
transfer.

Transferring Ownership of a
Firearm in Pennsylvania

If
your firearm purchase requires you to transfer your gun professionally,
Keystone Shooting Center will handle the process according to state and federal
laws. The gun ownership transfer process in Pennsylvania is as follows:

Visit
Your FFL Dealer: If the gun's seller is an unlicensed individual as outlined above,
you'll need to transfer your firearm through a sheriff's office or a licensed
gun dealer like Keystone Shooting Center. Both the current owner and the gun
recipient must be present at the transaction.

Show
Proof of Identity: As an official FFL dealer, we'll need to verify both parties'
identities before completing the purchase. Both the seller and the recipient
must supply a current picture ID that contains their name, address and date of
birth, such as a driver's license.

Fill
Out Necessary Paperwork: Together, the buyer and seller will then complete
an ATF Form 4473, also known as the Firearms Transaction Record. Because this
form requires a special FFL dealership ID and unique individual number, you
must complete it at the dealer at the time of your transfer. The dealer will
then submit the form to the state.

Pass
Your Background Check: You don't need a permit to own a gun in Pennsylvania. However, the
buyer must still complete and pass a background check through the Pennsylvania
Instant Check System (PICS) before we can finalize the purchase. This
background check costs $2, plus $25 for Keystone Shooting Center members or $45
for non-members. A few minutes after running the background check, we'll inform
you whether your request has been approved, denied or delayed.

Receive
Your Receipt and Transfer Your Gun: After the buyer's background check has come back
approved, the seller can hand over the firearm immediately - the state doesn't
require any waiting period between approval and ownership. We'll give you both
a receipt of sale after completing the process that proves you've followed
proper gun ownership transfer laws.

But
before you buy a gun from an unlicensed dealer, check out our world-class
superstore. We have more than 500 new firearms in stock, so we're confident we
can help you find what you're looking for. You could save money through our
professional services and support that you can enjoy even long after your sale.
